The Altadena Railway.

ridge near Pasadena avenue, continuing
in that direction to Walnut street, where
it turns toward the northwest and north,
running to and across the Painter tract,
in the Highlands. 1t tken turns easterly,
following the trend of the mountains
through Altadena. The grade is COM
pleted all along the northern portion of
the line. There is some heavy grade
along that portion Of the line between
Walnut street and the Painter tract.
The road will be built standard gauge,
using thirty-five pound steel rails. The
laying of the track has already com.
menced at the Raymond, and more will
be put in at once, or as soon as the
grade is finished,
The company has also secured a right
of way through the Canyada, and in
time the rail will be laid there also. As
to the length of time before this latter
will be done the company have not yet
determined. The line will be q good
one, capable of carrying regular trains,
the maximum grade being only ll6 feet
to the mile. 1t will pass through fine
portion of the city, and will tend to
build up the Highlands more rapidly
than ever. The men who are at the
head of the enterprise mean business,
and propose to put it through.-[Pasa'

There were 276 barrels of binder paste
used, weighing about SO, 900 pounds.
There were 27, $50 sheep skins used.
Z, 7,22l goat skins, and l3S calf skins. As
none of these skins were split it repre-
sents, of course, the killing of an equal
number of animals.
There were about 302, 2,3l0 reams of
paper used in the printing. which
weighed about l, ,Sl3,SS0 pounds, or 9061
tons. This, put in one piece, would
make strip two feet wide and l,6S28
miles long.
If the books were piled up in one row
the narrowest way--that is, the same as
they would stand in q book.case-it
would take a shelf l9A miles long to
hold them.
If the pages of the book were joined
together it would make a strip of paper
six inches wide and 6,729a miles long.
Forty-one steam presses were working
day and night, more than 1000 opera

DIDN'T FIGHT.
Another Swindle on the Long
suffering Sporting Fraternity.

Another SwindIe on the Long,
Suffering Sporting Fraternity.
Los Angeles numbers among its popu.
lation certain class of people who are
fond of sports of all kinds, and real,
genuine pdgilistic encounter would make
glad the hearts of many of this class.
1t seems, however, that they are doomed
to disappointment. Time and again
have they put up good money in rather
generous amounts to see fight to fin.
ish, but at the last moment something
interfered. 1t may be said that the
peace officers have been very lenient,
and the would. be scrappers have had
lots of opportunities; bnt the great ele-
ment in fight, "sand, has always been
lacking in one or the other of the con-
testants. A great many people remem-
ber the Carr. Dutchy fiasco OF last Feb.
ruary. This was talked about for many
days. $500 worth of tickets were sold,
the ticket holders drove out to the race
track through the mud and rain, and
they can all recall the disgusting exhibi.
ton of cowardice on the part of Dutchy.
which prevented fight. This put dam
der on the so.called manly art for quite
while but lately fresh crop of slug
gers have arrived in the city and war
talk has been floating through the air.
1t is evident that their talk ''is all
for money" and finally $3.50 worth of
tickets were sold for fight between
Cleary and Bradstreet. 1t may be
remarked right here that not one of the
men who were swindled on the Carr
Dutchy fight bought a ticket to this
one. At any rate the ticket holders
gathered at Agricultural Park Sunday
morning before daylight and at three
o'clock the men appeared in the ring.
Nj. A Scott was chosen as referee and
time was called. Bradstreet refused to
toe the mark and said he would not
fight for less than $500. So anxious
were the spectators to see a genuine
contest that they Clipped in and
raised the amount to $500. Then
Bradstreet backed square out and re.
fused to fight under any circumstances.
Several of the swindled ticket holders
issued pressing invitations to Brad.
street to engage in a rough and tum-
BILE fight but he respectfully but
firmly declined. Approbious epithets
were freely applied to him but
nothing disturbed his resolution not to
fight. The referee then declared
Cleary the winner, and the money was
given to him. The crowd went home
very much disguised, and it is safe to
bet that the next fellow who gets up
prize fight in Los Angeles won't get it
up.
Bradstreet had been arrested on Sat-
urday, for swimming in the city reser-
voir, but had been bailed out to take
part in the fight. After he backed
down, the man who bailed him out took
him to the city prison and gave him up,
and he is no w incarcerated

Some Advice 10 wives.

Remember that your father was also
o man, and be charitable.
Love your husbands mother. Re.
member she is older than you are, and
will probably die first. Ii you can't do
this you had better marry an orphan.
Don't be ashamed of being ''only a
woman" Ii you were man he proba-
bly, never would have married you.
Let your husband have the last word
oncein awhile. 1t will give him conf.
dence in himself, and may even make a
man of him some day.
Try and forget yourself once in awhile
when you are talking to your husband.
He probably forgets you quickly enough
when you are out of town on visit.
Don't continually talk about yourself
when you are talking to your husband.
Remember that bore is one who talks
about herself when her husband wants
| to talk about himself.
Let your husband read the paper at
the breakfast table if he wants to. 1t
will prevent his making ill-natured re-
marks about the coffee grounds and
heavy biscuit.
Don't be unreasonable; that is, be as
reasonable as you can be. 1t will
give you reputation for originality,
which may be very valuable If you ever
want to enter museum.
Let him think he knows more than
you once in while. This is especially
advisable about the time you want an
Easter hat. 1t is always easy to unde.
ceive him when the bill comes in.
Be a companion to your husband.
Call at his office for him every afternoon
and go with him to his club in the
evening. Most men love devotion. II
this is persisted in for any length OF
time he will send you to the seashore in
the summer, if he has to mortgage his
! dress suit to pay the bill.-N. o. Times.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
SAN Francisco, June l9.-Adviees
from South America to-day state that an
idea of the direful effects of the cholera
in Santiago, Chilli, may be drawn from
an account given by correspondent of
the amount expended in that capital
through cholera since March. The cor
respondent says: "We have expended
in this Santiago district $4,000, OF
which sl45, 900 has been obtained from
the government and S35, 900 from the
municipality. For one house of lazarettos
$50. 200 has been spent and for furni-
ture $4,000. In the cholera cemetery
three immense brickwork receptacles
were built with Roman cement, each one
mado to contain 5000 bodies and all are
built deep enough to enable thick Gov.
ering of lime to be placed over the
corpses and subsequently at least one
metre of earth. Each of these sepul.
chres cost $780,"

A GROWING CHURCH.
A Large and Increasing Menu
bership.

The First Presbyterian Church re-.
ceived fifty-six new members into its
communion yesterday. Twenty-four of
these joined by profession of faith and
forty-two by letters from other
churches The membership of the
church now aggregates nearly seven
hundred.
Yesterday was communion Sunday,
and the pastor, Rev. w, j. Chichester,
delivered very impressive discourse on
the subject of the holy sacrament. He
spoke from the text contained in the
fourth verse of the second chapter of
the Song of Solomon: "He brought me
to the banqueting house, and his ban
ner over me was love-" The Oriental
beauty and imagery set forth in the
Song of Solomon was to him the most
suggestive and striking part of the old
scriptures. 1t symboli3ed the Church
of Christ as the Bride and the coming
Son of Man as the Bridegroom. In this
passage was foreshadowea the rite that
would be observed throughout the ages,
in remembrance of Him who had given
His body and His blood as vicarious
atonement for the sins of mankind. To
partake of the sacrament was to vow
fidelity ty the Great Master. 1t was an
enlistment in the army of the Lord, as
the origin of the Latin word implies.
When the Roman arms Had penetrated
- ~ ha th,,.naI
ranks were to be replenished by recruits
from the tribes seduced or conquered.
the new candidate was brought into
camp; the victim was slain and its blood
poured into inverted shields, and the
recruit was required to dip his hands
into it and swear allegiance and fidelity
to Caesar. This was the sacramental
oath. So with those who join the
Church of Christ and partake of the
holy communion. They become
soldiers of the cross and pledge
their fidelity and allegiance to
Christ. The church was not a
Pullman palace car where all who be.
longed to it could take their ease and be
carried to heaven in luxurious comfort.
1t was q chariot of war battling con.
stantly with sin and the works of the
arch. enemy. The true Christian was
no holiday soldier. He was required to
be constantly on the alert alwaye belted
and armed for the fight. yet, not with
mortal weapons; but with those divine
and gentle arms that win by love and
goodwill. Words of cheer and com.
fort, the pursuation of good lives and
good works-the benign. influence of
deeds of grace and charity-the soft and
seductive methods of love and the
beautiful promise of eternal happiness,
these are the weapons of the soldiers
of Christ, winning hearts to everlasting
peace, by act, example andloving words.

A BlOOded Race.

A young physician of this city and a
wealthy capitalist are great frie nds, but
they sometimes had arguments as to the
staying qualities and speed of their
respective driving horses. OF course
this is question which can only be set
tied by trial and the gentlemen made
the following wager; they were to start
from the court house at o'clock Satur.
day morning, take drink of water at
Mr.. Bailey's house on the John Thomas
rancho, near Fulton Wells, and return
to the starting point, making race OF
twenty eight miles. The owners of the
horses put up $3.50 apiece and out.
side friends bet about $500 more. The
start was made promptly, and from al
accounts the race was a most exciting
one. "Doc," with his sleepy looking
old white horse was the winner, making
the trip in two hours and five minutes
the capitalist coming in about fifteen
minutes later. Docs horse is all right
but it is feared that the equine OF the
capitalist is ruined.

ner. His wife was at home when he
reached there, and he saw no woman in
the vicinity, nor did he see any other
persons except two men who were some
distance away, whom he thought were,
perhaps, partners in the attempt to rob.
Homer G. Katz, who was on the spot,
in company with j. V. Rowan, tells
somewhat different story of the affair as
he saw it. He was accompanying Row.
an, who lives at 429 South Main street,
home, and when he reached the corner
of Main and Fifth streets he saw man
and a woman come walking up Fifth
street. There he stopped and talked to
Mr.. Rowan and his attention few
seconds after was attracted to man
who stood in the street and fired at
man under tree. There was woman
by the side of the man, and she stood
there while the subsequent shooting was
going on. When the duel was over, for
It appeared to him as such, the woman
went up Main street, and the man,
who was apparently with her,
ran up Fifth street. The man who had
been the aggressor went down Main
street toward Sixth and went into
house. These two stories of the affair
do not agree, as Mr. Stewart is positive
that no woman was there and Others
who saw the affair say that there was.
If Mr.. Stewards story be true and he
saw no woman, it might be within the
range of possibilities that some one of
the women residing thereabouts, fright
ened by the firing, ran into the street
directly after it was over, but the
others say that the woman stood by the
tree from behind which the man fired
during the latter part of the fight, and
that short distance behind stood col.
ored man who saw the whole affair.
There is evidently mystery still sur
rounding the affair which has not yet
been satisfactorily explained.

A Grim ,JOke.

1t was George Eliou who said that a
difference of taste in jokes had often
parted friends and would again, and a
joke in exceeding bad taste was the
huge and ghastly one which the Los
Angeles Times attempted to perpe-
trate upon the public in connection with
the sad suicide of Father Foran.
The well.dressed reporter for the Times
the Times reporters are always well
dressed; it is their chief qualification
began with the assumption that the
country people were all damphools, and
worked inaustriously to make a sen.
sation out of nothing. In his la
bors he was ably assisted, and given
comfort and encouragement by one OF
our own citizens who knew better and
who might have been in better busi-
ness. Together, in pursuit of material
information concerning neighbor Cham
berlain, who was guilty only of trying
to do kind and neighborly act for
Foran, only mixing great zeal with
little discretion, and they pretended
they had bill against him. They
formulated gauzy theory, just enough
to raise newsboy cry OF ''Foul MUIR
der of a Priest at Anaheim. Our Own
Reporter Detects the Assassin!" and
probably sold few extra papers in
conse quence. As a business venture,
where no regard is paid to truth or to
personal rights and feelings, it would
seem to be hardly worth while, but they
remember the lie we'll stuck to, etc., and
when Los Angeles detectives came down
and uncovered the mares nest OF the
Times reporter they claimed the officers
were at fault. OF course the Times is
nothing if not sensational, but carrying
a Joke like this so far is in bad taste, and
it bas not strengthened the paper in this
vicinity Anaheim New Era.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
Two Youths Cut to Pieces by the
Oregon Express.

TEHAMA, June l9.-Wade Tarter and
Lee Turner, two boys 10 years of age
and residents of Tehama who had been
working in the harvest fields near here
left the ranch last evening with the
evident intention of walking to Tehama.
This morning their dead bodies were
found on the railroad track half a
mile from town. horribly mangled.
Tarter's head was almost completely sew.
cred from his body. Turner's arm was
cut off and his body almost cut in two at
the abdomen. The supposition is that
the boys becoming tired from their long
walk had sat down upon the track to
rest and had fallen asleep. They were
evidently killed by the south bound Ore
gon express. Tarter was a prominent
member of the Tehama brass band
and general favorite.
